5 UNFINISHED PROJECTS: REFLEXIVE DEMOCRACY
1. U. Beck, ‘The reinvention of politics: towards a theory of refl exive
modernisation’, in U. Beck, A. Giddens and S. Lash, Reflexive
Modernization (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1994).
2. It may seem odd to invoke Anthony Giddens in a discourse that
problematises ‘Third Way’ social democracy. I think, in fact, that the
term ‘Third Way’ conceals more than it reveals, and although he has
been associated with Tony Blair’s UK government, it is too simplistic to
call Giddens a spokesperson for Blairite Third Way politics. But whilst
Giddens’ ideas may be more radical than either the policies, aspirations
or ideologies of the Blair government, I will go on to suggest that they
may not be radical enough.
